During the 1960s, theater in the United States underwent an experimental change, often referred to as experimental theatre. Throughout the time period of experimental theatre, the modern concepts of 60s society was tested through plays and altered to introduce more minorities into what was considered the norm of society in entertainment. It was during the Sexual Revolution (around the same time as the beginning of experimental theatre), that gay, lesbian, and bisexuality was introduced into entertainment. Beforehand, there was a stigma surrounding the group. They were often portrayed (if their characters had parts in theatre) as flamboyant, overly sensitive, and even destructive. Other personalities were tossed around, such as predatory, as well as a fate of most lesbian characters: doom. However, the Sexual Revolution introduced with it the homosexual theatre, and through this playwrights, actors, and directors alike could address real problems their community faced within society, as well as drop the stigma that usually accompanied the gay character. By the 1970s, real revenue was streaming in from mainly gay commercial theatre, however, transgender entertainment created a larger hit with audiences and introduced a new type of culture to theatre. Even lesbian theatre began to flourish as part by inspiration from the feminist movement. Although the new and improved gay, lesbian, and bisexual theatre community was growing in the business, there were instances where playwrights were not funded due to their community. But, to this day gay, lesbian, and bisexual theatre continues to have a prominent seat in live entertainment.
